Well, essentially a must win to stay in the divisional race. 7.5 down if we lose. This team is not coming back from that kind of deficit baring a complete miracle. Also pretty crippling to go down 4.5 in the WC race, potentially. Would put us closer to the Reds in the standings than the postseason.

Hoping we can win twice before Sunday. And with a 19-8 September, 88 wins should get us in.

I love the optimism. I hope you're right. We're approaching a point where we need to seriously catch fire to have a chance. And I haven't seen much fire the last 2 days.

Yah, they are starting to dig themselves into a hole that would require us to be the hottest team in baseball or close to it in September. Not impossible as much as some don't think it is. This team had a big run in the May (?) timeframe this year...so like any other team they could get hot.

However, it is better to have good pitching and hope the offense gets hot...not hope our pitching can gets hot and be a bunch of Clayton Kershaw's.

Personally, I've checked out. They're done as far as I'm concerned but 17 of their last 20 to finish are against teams that should have nothing to play for. Maybe that keeps them alive. However, they thoroughly and totally crapped the bed earlier this year when they had a stretch of what should have been easy games.

It's not over till the fat lady sings but I heard they are having Cass Elliot remembrance night in the next homestand.

This made me think of that Lizzo chick, her song debuted on the Top 100 on May 18th....before then we were 27-21 in a WC spot. Since then we are 40-44 and 6.5 out of the division. Seems as though the fat lady has sang. Let's just say, the truth hurts.

Stearns probably had no interest in getting a C because the Brewers need a C. It makes much more sense to trade for 3B when it's not needed, and then move the other 3B to 2B, then trade for a 2B, but since the 3B is now at 2B, then the new 2B goes to SS

Baseball is funny. we'll lose the two games that seemed winnable and win the one we shouldn't.

Gotta love trying to argue that the 23 year old with a 3.3 ERA last year and 3.3 this year and only 9 runs given up in his last 10 starts isn't good, and will use a one game sample to try and prove it.
